Add sandstone pressure plate
Just add another pressure plate. The textures are based on the original default sandstone.
I doubt that it's justified to add a sandstone pressure plate while there are many more nodes that could be made to a pressure plate, too (eg. desert stone). Note: You can also add new pressure plates in an additional mod, separate to the mesecons modpack.
The textures are based on the original default sandstone.
It is possible that you have to add a note about this in the license file.
The new item should be documented, see https://github.com/minetest-mods/mesecons/tree/master/mesecons_pressureplates/doc and http://mesecons.net/items.html.
Why should this new pressure plate be crafted with sandstone blocks and not with sandstone?
The texture names should start with "mesecons_pressureplates_".
There are already some pressure plates. Wouldn't it be useful to add all the remaining pressure plates (e.g. dessert stone, ...) as well? I would rather see a complete package than an additional mod.
I'll check the licences. Add documentation, also I am not sure how to produce the preview image. Also sandstone makes more sense then sandstone block. No idea why i have chosen sandstone block :D. But despite all this, are willing to merge at all. Or do you really want to see additional pressure plates in a separate mod?

@sfan5 might know, they have made the fpga preview image, I think.

I addressed all the issues. Well, i have no high res preview. The textures from minetest are all CC BY-SA 3.0 as are the textures from mesecons. So everything is fine here.
I’m neutral.

Strictly speaking, that’s not OK as the BY part means, texture author (copyright holder) must be mentioned as such (that’s what the COPYING file is for here). But in the real word, that hardly ever matters; enforcement capabilities is the only important thing in copyright (as well as in any other lawsuit, to a great extent).
What about making a nice thin frame with an empty middle. To make already existing blocks looks like a pressure plate. If well done it can probably even look better than the current default plate and it would work with anything like literally.
My understanding of his suggestion is that the pressure plate is a very thin empty frame so you can see the node beneath it. That way any node can (appear to) be a pressure plate.
@frukto Here you can see a demo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZoeMNcLDU4&feature=youtu.be
@leucome That's cool. Did you already implement it? I think it a great addition to mesecons-mod. In particular because it lessens the need/discussion for additional plates. If you have nothing ready, I'll think I create an additional PR, superseding this one.
